Short report on workshop on

----------------------------------------------
 "Controllability analysis and plantwide control"
Trondheim, Norway. 11-12 Oct. 1999
----------------------------------------------

The workshop was oragnized by Sigurd Skogestad at the process systems
engineering (PROST) group at the Norwegian University of Science and
Technology (NTNU). The event was sponsored by the Nordic Energy Research
Program on Process Integration. Many of the speakers participate in the
European project (CAPE.NET) and the workshop was also a "technology transfer"
event for this project.

The course went over two days (Monaday-Tuesday) with a dinner on Monday.

Workshop contents:

1** "Controllability analysis and plantwide control (introduction)"
        Sigurd Skogestad, NTNU, Norway
2** "Effects of Process Integration on Dynamics and Control "
        Elling W. Jacobsen, KTH, Stockholm, Sweden
3** "Application of plantwide control to integrated plants with recycle"
        Ivar Halvorsen and Truls Larsson, NTNU, Norway
4** "Practical strategies for plantwide control (using the Hysys simulator)"
        David Clough, University of Colorado, USA
5** "Plantwide control and optimization (with case studies) "
        Sten Bay Jørgensen, DTU, Denmark
6** "Control Structure Selection for Integral Control with Integrity"
        Kurt-Erik Haggblom, Åbo Akademi, Finland
7** "Matlab software for controllability analysis"
        Truls Larsson and Marius Govatsmark, NTNU, Norway
8** "Use of data in a plantwide environment"
    (including "On-line performance optimisation" and "Data reconciliation")
        David Cameron. Norsk Hydro Research Center, Porsgrunn, Norway.
9** "Performance monitoring of controllers in a plantwide environment"
        M. Hovd, NTNU, Norway and Alf Isaksson, KTH, Sweden

The workshop was very successful in bringing together industrial and
academic participants.

There were 42 participants in addition to the 11 lecturers.

  14 from industry (Large companies: Statoil(3), Norsk Hydro(3), ABB(2),
                Borealis(1). Small: Nycomed(1), Falconbridge(1), Fantoft Process(1))
  28 from universities and research institutes (mostly Ph.D. students)

Distribution countries (including lecturers):
  Denmark: 6
  Norway: 35 (og which 3 were Ph.D.students from Greece and Germany)
  Finland: 4
  Sweden: 7
  US: 1
